Jeff, I have access to a transcription of the 1860 census. If you give me your ancestor's full name, I can check the census for families of the correct surname, with a child of the appropriate name and age....Just a warning though, I don't know exactly when I will get to the LDS library (probably after Thanksgiving)...
